THE SPARK PLUGS FAILED DURING DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY RESULTING IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION. I LATER LEARNED THAT THE SPARK PLUGS FAILED BECAUSE 2 OF THE CYLINDERS WERE BURNING EXCESSIVE OIL. HONDA HAS RECALLED THIS CAR DUE TO EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION BUT HAS REFUSED TO REIMBURSEMENT ME AFTER I HAD THE CAR REPAIRED.

TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE CALLED MY DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES TO FIND OUT ANY INFORMATION REGARDING GETTING THE AIRBAG REPLACED AND THE DEALER WILL NOT CALL ME BACK. I HAVE LEFT MULTIPLE MESSAGES THEY ARE LEFT UNANSWERED. THIS RECALL CAME OUT OVER A YEAR AGO AND IT STILL IS LEFT UNDONE. THE OTHER DEALERS AROUND THE AREA WON'T EVEN TAKE A LOOK AT IT. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY VEHICLE. THE DEALERS SHOULD NOT BE TREATING THE CUSTOMERS THIS WAY ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO SAFETY.

I WAS DRIVING ALONG ON THE HIGH WAY DRIVING NORMALLY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY STEERING WHEEL AIRBAG WENT OFF, I HIT MY BRAKES IMMEDIATELY OUT OF FEAR. MY HAND WAS CUT, BRUISED AND SLIGHTLY BLEEDING. LUCKILY I DIDN'T HIT ANYONE. FROM MY UNDERSTANDING THIS MODEL OF CAR IS IN RECALL, YET MY VIN ISN'T ONE OF THEM. IT SCARES ME THAT THIS HAS BEEN A TICKING TIME BOMB SINCE I BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW. I FEEL LOST SINCE HONDA SAYS MY CAR ISN'T ONE THAT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED, YET WHY WOULD MY AIR BAG JUST DEPLOY WHILE DRIVING?

TAKATA RECALL.... I RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE BY US MAIL AND THE DATE ON THE LETTER WAS MARCH 2016. IT IS NOW FEB ALMOST MARCH 2017, 1 YEAR LATER AND EVERY TIME I GO TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THIS CORRECTED. THEY STATE TO ME THAT I HAVE TO WAIT TILL I GET A LETTER IN MAIL SAYING THAT THE PARTS ARE IN AND I CAN BRING MY CAR IN FOR REPAIR. IT HAS BEEN A YEAR! REALLY, I COULD HAVE DIED BY NOW BECAUSE OF THIS RECALL AND NO ONE SEEMS TO CARE ABOUT THIS... I FEEL THIS IS A LAW SUIT WAITING TO HAPPEN AND BELIEVE ME, I HAVE LEFT MY FAMILY INSTRUCTIONS FOR JUST THAT IF I AM IN AN ACCIDENT AND AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED AND I DIE. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE WHEN IT COMES TO PEOPLES SAFETY, YOU HAVE RECALLED THE ITEM ASSOCIATED WITH THE VEHICLE AND THEN YOU CANT FIX IT???? SO WHEN DO I HEAR ABOUT MY PARTS BEING IN AND THIS GETTING FIXED, HOPEFULLY IT IS BEFORE I DIE BECAUSE OF IT! I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW! I HAVEN'T HEARD A THING SINCE I GOT THE FIRST NOTICE AND ALL THE DEALER SAYS IS THAT I HAVE TO WAIT. WAIT FOR WHAT, ME TO DIE BECAUSE OF IT? PLEASE DO YOUR JOB AND FIX THE CAR!

OIL CONSUMPTION WAS WAY OFF AND ALL 8 OF THE SPARK PLUGS HAVE BEEN CHANGED TWICE IN A YEAR. CAR HAS ONLY 80,000 MILES ON IT AND NOW THEY WANT TO DO A COMPLETE TEAR DOWN OF THE ENGINE AT MY EXPENSE. I SHOULD NOT BE PAYING FOR THESE REPAIRS HONDA SHOULD BE LIABLE. I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE IN THE HIGHWAY AND WITH NO WARNING IT SUDDENLY STOPPED AND WENT TO LIMP MODE . VERY DANGEROUS. SERIOUS ACCIDENTS CAN AND WILL HAPPEN ITS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME. THE PROBLEM: OEM PISTON RINGS THAT CAME ORIGINAL TO THE CAR GO BAD AROUND 60,000 MILES. AND HONDA IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE!!!!!********

I HAVE LIFE TIME OIL CHANGES, I HAD THE OIL CHANGED ON 10/27/16, I ADVISED, FOR THE SECOND TIME THAT IT WAS USING QUITE A BIT OF OIL (IT WAS LOW AGAIN). THEY SAID IT WAS NORMAL FOR THE CAR. ON DECEMBER 1, I WAS ON THE FREEWAY AND MY CAR STALLED. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF OF THE FREEWAY AND HAD TO WAIT FOR A TOW TRUCK AS MY CAR WOULD NOT START. WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND WHEN THEY ESTIMATED THE REPAIRS, IT WAS $8200.00 TO FIX. THE CAR IS NOT EVEN WORTH $7500.00. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE VALVE TIGHTENED, WHICH WAS RARE AT THIS MILEAGE, CAUSING THE SPARK PLUGS TO MELT, BURN THE EXHAUST VALVE, AND A BURNT CYLINDER HOLE. I WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT VALVE JOBS DON'T OCCUR UNTIL 100,000 MILES IN THESE VEHICLES. THEY ALSO SAID THAT THE OIL SHOULD HAVE BEEN CHANGED MORE OFTEN DUE TO THE OIL CONSUMPTION. I WAS ALREADY ADDING OIL IN BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. DUE TO THE COST OF THE REPAIRS, I AM IN SEARCH OF A REPLACEMENT MOTOR TO INSTALL INSTEAD OF HAVING THE DEALERSHIP REBUILD IT. *TR

TAKATA RECALL I WAS INFORMED OF THE RECALL ON MY CAR IN JANUARY OF 2016. I CALLED MY NEAREST HONDA DEALERSHIP (CONCORD, CA) WHICH SAID THEY'D SEND ME A LETTER WHEN THEY GOT THE PARTS. THEY FINALLY FIXED THE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG IN JULY 2016. AT THAT TIME, I WAS INFORMED THAT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WAS NOT REPLACED AND THAT I'D GET ANOTHER LETTER IN THE MAIL ONCE THE PASSENGER PARTS WERE IN. IT'S JANUARY 2017 NOW AND I STILL HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING. I'M MOVING 6 HOURS AWAY FROM HOME IN AUGUST AND NEED MY CAR REPAIRED. *TR
